Electrical Connections

About the MIC Shielded Composite CableAll connections (power, telemetry, video) to the MIC camera are provided through the screwterminal connections in the MIC power supply. MIC shielded composite cables are multi-conductor cables of various lengths (and gauges ranging from 14 - 18) that provide all power,video, and telemetry connections between the MIC PSU and the MIC camera. The cables arepre-made with a female terminated connector (12-pin) at one end for attachment to the maleconnector installed into the base of the camera. The other end of the cables has free (non-terminated) wires for wiring into terminals in the MIC PSU. The composite cable consists oftwo pairs (24AWG) plus 4 cores of (22 AWG), 2 cores of (24 AWG), and one coax core for thevideo signal to a maximum distance of 25 m.

Notice!

Bosch Security Systems does not recommend using the shielded composite cable for

distances greater than 25 m between the MIC camera and the MIC power supply.

For installations that require the camera to be more than 25 m from the power supply, Boschrecommends that a 2 m cable be connected to a junction box (Exd rated for MIC440) fromwhich telemetry, video, and power can be broken out into separate cables and appropriatewiring used to extend the distance to suit.

!Warning!

Bosch recommends connecting the cable to the unit before taking the unit for mounting on-

site.

Select the Mounting Location and Orientation

Mounting Location OverviewMIC Series cameras are designed for easy installation in various locations such as directly ontobuildings and dedicated CCTV poles. Bosch sells a complete series of mounting bracketsdesigned to allow the camera to achieve the optimal field of view.The most common type of mounting location is the top of a dedicated CCTV pole that providesa robust mounting platform that minimizes camera motion and typically has a large basecabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies.The camera can also be mounted on the side of a lamp post, pole, or similar column using thePole Mount Bracket (MIC-PMB). Be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movementand are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.Other locations for mounting the camera include the top of a building, the side (wall) of abuilding, the corner of a building, and under the eave of a building.Surveillance cameras are susceptible to vibrations caused by wind or vibrations emanatingfrom the medium to which the camera is attached. Cameras attached to a pole, roof, or bridgeare especially vulnerable. Bosch offers the following recommendations to stabilize yourcamera and to decrease the effects of vibration on transmitted images.

Pole and mast mounts– Use a pole designed for CCTV cameras.– Do not use a tapered pole.– Do not use a pole that has signs or other equipment attached.– Consult EPA rating/Wind load data to select an appropriate pole.

Roof mounts– Mount the camera in the most stable location on the roof.– Avoid locations affected by vibrations such as those caused by a rooftop air conditioner.– Use guy wires to stabilize the camera against strong windows.

Extreme mount applicationsUnique camera mounting applications that are impacted by extreme high winds, heavy traffic,or other conditions may require additional measures to stabilize the camera. Contact amanufacturer that specializes in passive vibration suppression using either damping orisolation.The three figures directly below illustrate the arrangement of mounting brackets for installinga MIC camera. The camera (not shown) is attached to the bowl of the MIC-WMB.

Notice!

MIC cameras must be secured to one of the following surfaces:

- Concrete (Solid/Cast)

- Concrete Masonry Unit (Concrete Block)

- Brick (all types)

- Metal (Steel/Aluminum, minimum 1/8-in. thick)

!

Caution!

Risk of lightning strikes

If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then

Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the

camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection

to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes.

The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct

lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should

result.

Select the Mounting Orientation2. After selecting the mounting location, select the appropriate mounting orientation.MIC Series cameras are designed to be mounted upright (straight up, 90°), inverted (straightdown, 90°), or canted upright (ball up, 45°). The tilt limits for the canted unit prevent it fromworking properly if mounted ball down. See the figures below for illustrations of the correctand the incorrect mounting orientations of MIC cameras.

Earthing the CameraEarth the MIC Camera to metal on or attached to the mount.

!Warning!

The camera must be earthed / grounded to meet EMC immunity standards.

Earth the camera using one of the supplied securing bolts. Only earth the camera at a singlepoint to prevent earth loops and video distortion (hum bars), caused by electricalinterference, from appearing on the camera picture in the control room. Please note:– The camera module and housing are electrically isolated, so the housing should be safety

earthed regardless. The safety earth should be a bonding connection (for example, one ofthe securing bolts) to the camera housing, or should be attached to the Earth terminalpost on the PCD base of the camera.

– If the system is copper throughout and the camera pictures are fed back to the controlroom via coaxial copper cable, then the camera should be earthed only at the videotermination point in the control room. In this case, the "Earth Link" on the PCB should bebroken. Refer to Earth Link on PCB.

– If the video is transmitted back to the control room via some non-electrical connectingmedium (for example, fiber optic, radio, or microwave link), then the camera should beearthed at the transmitter point in the power supply unit. The PSU "Earth Link" may beused for this purpose.

– If dual earthing is unavoidable, then a video isolation transformer should be fittedbetween the two earths.

Warning!

It is essential that the connections and the base of the camera are completely sealed from

water ingress. Any water getting into the connector is liable to cause corrosion to the

connector pins, leading to unreliable operation of the camera unit. This is especially

imperative for a camera mounted in inverted orientation.

1. To prevent water ingress, seal the threads of the securing bolts using PTFE tape (notsupplied). An additional gasket or suitable silicone sealant can be applied liberally to thethreads prior to final tightening to ensure a watertight seal between the base of the cameraand the mounting surface.2. Use M8 x 20 mm stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers to secure the base of the camerato the mounting surface.3. Tighten all bolts securely.4. Secure all cabling and conduit.

!

Caution!

The upright unit can be mounted either with the camera ball up or down. So that the picture

from a camera installed with the camera ball down appears properly, rotate the camera tilt

axis 180°. For more information, see Configuring the Camera for Inverted Operation.

About the MIC Shielded Composite CableAll connections (power, telemetry, video) to the MIC camera are provided through the screwterminal connections in the MIC power supply. MIC shielded composite cables are multi-conductor cables of various lengths (and gauges ranging from 14 - 18) that provide all power,video, and telemetry connections between the MIC PSU and the MIC camera. The cables arepre-made with a female terminated connector (12-pin) at one end for attachment to the maleconnector installed into the base of the camera. The other end of the cables has free (non-terminated) wires for wiring into terminals in the MIC PSU. The composite cable consists oftwo pairs (24AWG) plus 4 cores of (22 AWG), 2 cores of (24 AWG), and one coax core for thevideo signal to a maximum distance of 25 m.

Notice!

Bosch Security Systems does not recommend using the shielded composite cable for

distances greater than 25 m between the MIC camera and the MIC power supply.

For installations that require the camera to be more than 25 m from the power supply, Boschrecommends that a 2 m cable be connected to a junction box (Exd rated for MIC440) fromwhich telemetry, video, and power can be broken out into separate cables and appropriatewiring used to extend the distance to suit.

!Warning!

Bosch recommends connecting the cable to the unit before taking the unit for mounting on-

site.

Getting StartedInstall and wire the camera according to the instructions in this manual and in the manualsthat accompany the power supply and mounting devices. A typical system includes akeyboard, matrix switcher, monitor, and appropriate wiring connections. Refer to theindividual product manuals for complete installation and setup instructions for each of thesystem components.

Establishing Control of the CameraThe MIC Series 550 / MIC Series 550 IR supports two communication protocols (Biphase andRS-485), and both Bosch and Pelco D and P (keyboard) controller protocols that allow you tosend commands to the camera and to receive information from the camera.

Establishing Control of the Camera via Biphase Protocol

Notice!

Biphase protocol works only with Bosch controller protocol. It does not work with Pelco

controller protocol.

Biphase is the standard Bosch protocol used to send Pan/Tilt/Zoom control data. Biphaseconnections require a MIC-BP3 or a MIC-BP4 Biphase converter (sold separately).

Caution!

The Biphase shield must be connected to the head end only.

Establishing Control of the Camera via RS-485 Protocol

Notice!

In Pelco controller protocol, RS-485 is the only communication protocol that the camera

supports. It does not transmit responses back to the controller.

RS-485 is capable of controlling a true multidrop network and is specified for up to 32 driversand 32 receivers on a single 2-wire bus.The MIC550 camera uses the 2-wire mode, although RS-485 can be connected in a 2- or 4-wiremode.

!

Caution!

Bosch recommends that multiple RS-485 connections be arranged as a connected series of

point-to-point (multidropped) nodes, as a line or as a bus. It is not recommended to arrange

RS-485 connections as a star, ring, or as a multiple-connected network. Star and ring

topologies may cause signal reflections or excessively low or high termination impedance.

In Pelco Protocol Mode, the camera is configured from the factory for RS-485 operation.1. Connect the controller's Tx terminals to the Tx terminals in the power supply box. See the

MIC Series Power Supplies Installation Manual for complete wiring instructions.2. Pan or tilt the keyboard joystick to confirm that control has been established to the

camera (approximately five (5) seconds).

Powering OnWhen you turn on power to the camera, the camera adjusts the lens focus. Afterapproximately 20 seconds, a splash screen appears, with text that displays the type of device(MIC-550), the camera model, the video type (PAL or NTSC), and the firmware version.

Controlling the CameraAfter the camera is on and homing is complete, you must set the camera address. You mayalso want to assign a password and to customize some of the default settings of the camera.To do this, you must control the camera.The most common ways to control the MIC are:– Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This method is the most common.

See Basic Keyboard Operation, page 33.– Using the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID) software running on a PC with

Bilinx or the RS-232/RS-485 communication protocol. Go to www.boschsecurity.com todownload the latest version of the software and the CTFID User Manual.

About Setting the Camera Address via FastAddressThe camera offers remote addressing via the feature "FastAddress," which allows you to set orto change a camera address using the keyboard and on-screen menus. The FastAddressfeature allows you to install all cameras first, then to set the addresses via the control system.This feature makes it easier to re-address cameras at a later time because you do not need togo to the physical location of the camera to change the camera’s address.

Notice!

You do not need to set a camera address if using Bilinx communication.

FastAddress is stored in nonvolatile memory and does not change if the power is turned off

or if the default settings are restored.

FastAddress, Bosch ProtocolIn Bosch protocol, there are three (3) FastAddress commands:– ON-999-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras without an address in the system.

Notice!

If a keyboard is set to a camera number that already has an address, that camera also

responds to this command.

– ON-998-ENTER: Displays and programs all cameras with or without an address in thesystem.

– ON-997-ENTER: Displays the current address status of all cameras in the systemsimultaneously.

To set an address for a camera without an address:1. Select the camera number that you want to FastAddress. The system displays the camera

number on the keyboard and the image on the corresponding monitor.2. Press #-ENTER (where # is the camera number without an address).3. Press ON-999-ENTER to invoke an on-screen display of cameras on the system without an

address.4. Follow the on-screen instructions. You receive an on-screen confirmation when the

FastAddress is complete.To change or clear an address for a camera with an address:1. Select the camera number that you want to FastAddress. The system displays the camera

number on the keyboard and the image on the corresponding monitor.2. Press #-ENTER (where # is the camera number with an address).3. Press ON-998-ENTER to invoke an on-screen display of all cameras on the system, with or

without an address.4. Follow the on screen instructions. You receive an on-screen confirmation when the

FastAddress is complete.

FastAddress, Pelco ProtocolsThis section provides instructions to set a FastAddress with a Pelco keyboard or controller.– A MIC550 with an address set to 0 responds to commands set to any address.– Pelco-P protocol must use addresses 1 to 32.– Pelco-D protocol must use addresses 1 to 254.

13.4

13.5

13.6



Notice!

A previously-configured MIC with an address above 32 (Pelco-P upper limit) or 254 (Pelco-D

upper limit) can be used without readdressing the unit. However, no two (2) addresses can

be the same. For example:

Pelco-P addresses above 32 are repeated in multiples of 32 (1, 33, 65, 97 are the same).

Pelco-D addresses above 254 are repeated in multiples of 254 (1, 255, 509, 763 are the

same).

To set FastAddress with a Pelco Keyboard:1. Press and hold 95-PRESET for two seconds to open the Pelco Setup menu.2. Move the joystick to select the Command Lock menu.3.

Remapping Aux Commands (Pelco Protocol, firmware version2.10 and higher)The camera has a Pelco submenu called AUX Setup. Pelco controller keyboards (for protocolsD and P) support 8 different auxiliaries (AUX On/OFF commands), but do not define whatfunction each should perform. In the AUX Setup submenu, some common commands fromthese keyboards can be “remapped” to one of the 8 AUX commands:The common commands for MIC analog cameras are:

AUX Command Function when ON Function when OFF

Wiper

WASH WIPE

Setup Menu Enters the Setup Menu using anAUX command, instead of Preset95.

Backlight Comp.

Additionally for the MIC550, the following commands are available:

AUX Command Function when ON Function when OFF

IR Illuminator

Gain Control

Night Mode

Night Mode Auto

For the MIC612, an additional AUX command is “Thermal.” When “ON,” the “Switched output”is the thermal camera video. When “OFF,” the “Switched output” is the optical camera video.By default, the Aux numbers of the functions are mapped as follows in MIC550:

1 WASH WIPE

2 Alarm Output 2

5 Not Set

6 Not Set

7 Not Set

8 Not Set

To change a mapping, select the auxiliary number from the 8 available, press right to select,and then scroll through the available functions using up and down control inputs.For example, to remap the Aux command for the wiper in the MIC550 camera to match thenumber of the Aux command used in an existing installation, follow these steps:1. Select option one ("WASH WIPE" by default). Set the value to "Not Set."2. Select option two ("Alarm Output 2" by default). Set the value to "WASH WIPE." The MIC550camera will now activate the wash/wipe function in response to the Aux 2 command.

Using the Wiper/Washer (Pelco Protocol)To activate the washer/wiper in Pelco protocol, follow these steps:

(See Chapter 9.2: Setting Preset Shots).Note: If you already have a preset stored at that position, the system prompts you to overwritethe current scene.4. Activate the wash/wiper function. Press 1 and then AUX-ON on the keyboard. The cameramoves to preset 62. The nozzle sprays cleaner onto the camera window, and then the wiperwipes the window. The camera then returns to where it was positioned previously, or itcontinues to perform the tour that it was performing when you activated the wash/wipefunction.

Notice!

Depending on your camera settings, your monitor may display a freeze frame image of the

wiper during or at the end of the wipe cycle. If you prefer not to see this freeze frame, you

can turn off the Freeze Frame on Preposition in the PTZ Setup menu.

Using the Wiper/Washer (Bosch Protocol)The "predefined position" for the wash/wipe function is preset 62. The installer must definepreset 62 (preferably where the washer nozzle is located and can direct washer fluid towardsthe camera window) before using the wiper/washer function.

To activate the washer/wiper function, press ON-105-ENTER and confirm this sequence:1. The wiper moves to a predefined position.2. The washer turns on for five seconds. Simultaneously, the wiper turns on and wipes five

times.3. The washer turns off. The wiper turns off.4. The camera returns to its previous PTZ position (and to inactive mode if applicable).

To activate the wiper manually (or if the corresponding alarm was activated ordeactivated):Press ON-102-ENTER. Note: The wiper will turn off automatically after 5 minutes of use.

To activate intermittent wipe:Press ON-103-ENTER. The wiper wipes twice, then returns to parked position, and then turnsoff 15 seconds later.

To activate the wiper to wipe five (5) times:Press ON-104-ENTER. The wiper wipes five times, then returns to parked position and turnsoff.

Notice!

If the power fails while the wiper is activated, the wiper will return to parked position, after

power is restored, before turning off. The wiper will not stop in front of the camera window.

Advanced FeaturesThis chapter details advanced user commands, which are more complicated than those inCommon User Commands, page 68.

Alarm RulesMIC cameras feature a powerful alarm rule engine. In its simplest form, an alarm rule definesthose inputs that activate specific outputs. In its more complex form, a rule can beprogrammed to take any combination of inputs and keyboard commands to perform a camerafunction. There are numerous combinations of alarm inputs and outputs that can beprogrammed into twelve (12) alarm rules.

Controlling Alarm RulesThe AUX 69 command allows a user to enable or disable all alarm rules. By default, alarm rulesare enabled until the OFF-69-ENTER command is issued from a keyboard (there is nocorresponding menu item for this command). Disabling alarms rules does not erase the rule,the MIC camera preserves the user-defined settings and the rule data is restored when theON-69-ENTER command is issued.The OFF-69-ENTER command performs the following actions:– Disables all alarm rules– Displays the message “Ack and Reset Alarms” if an alarm-rule triggered alarm is active

when the camera receives the disable command. You must acknowledge the alarm beforethe rule is disabled.

– Prevents the modification of an alarm rule while disabled.

Alarm Rule ExamplesFollowing are two examples for setting up alarm rules.Example 1: Basic Alarm RuleScenario: We want a door alarm contact to:1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 1***) on the display when the alarm is triggered.2. Move the MIC camera to a saved position. (For this example, Shot 7.)3. Transmit a Bilinx signal over the coax cable to the head-end system, such as an Allegiant,

to trigger an alarm response.The sequence to program the above alarm rule example is as follows:1. Wire the door contact to Input 1 in the camera. This circuit is normally open.2. Define the Alarm Input(s): From the Inputs Setup menu, ensure that Alarm Input 1 is set

to N.O. (the default setting for Input 1).3. Define the Alarm Outputs:

From the Outputs Setup menu, ensure that Output 5 is set to OSD (the default settingfor Output 5).Set Output 6 to Shot 7.Set Output 7 to Transmit (a Bilinx signal to the head end).

4. Set up the Alarm Rule by selecting the Inputs and Outputs from the Rule Setup menu:Select Rule 1.Set the first input to Alarm Input 1.Set the first output to OSD.Set the second output to Shot 7.Set the third output to Transmit.

5. Enable the Alarm Rule: Highlight Enabled and select YES.

Example 2: Advanced Alarm RuleScenario: A MIC camera located at an airport is set to AutoPan Between Limits from theparking garage to the airport terminal. The gate entering the airport has an alarm contactconnected to the camera, and the perimeter fence in the area of the gate has an infrared (IR)sensor for motion detection (motion detector) that is connected to the camera.When the alarms for the gate contact and the motion detector are activated at the same time,we want the alarm rule to:1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 2***) on the monitor.2. Stop the AutoPan and move the camera to a saved position (Shot 5) viewing the fence.3. Transmit a Bilinx signal to the head end system to trigger an alarm response.The sequence to program this alarm rule example is as follows:1. Wire and set the alarm Input(s).

– Wire the motion detector to Input 1. (This circuit is normally open.)– Wire the gate alarm contact to Input 5. (This circuit is normally closed.)

2. From the Inputs Setup menu:– Ensure that Input 1 (the motion detector) is set to N.O. (This setting is the default

for Input 1.)– Ensure that Input 5 (the gate contact) is set to N.C.

3. Set the alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu:– Set Output 5 to OSD.– Set Output 6 to Transmit.– Set Output 7 to Shot 5.

4. Set up the Alarm Rule by selecting the Inputs and Outputs from the Rule Setup menu:– Select Rule 2.– Set the first input to Alarm Input 1 (the motion detector).– Set the second input to Alarm Input 5 (the gate alarm contact).– Set the first output to OSD.– Set the second output to Shot5 viewing the fence.– Set the third output to Transmit (a Bilinx signal to the headend).

5. Enable the Alarm Rule: Highlight Enabled and select YES.

Pre-position TourMIC cameras feature two (2) preset tours. Each preset scene is saved for playback later.Tour 1 is a standard tour that only recalls the scenes in the exact sequence they were shot.Scenes can be added or deleted on the tour, but the sequence cannot be changed. To add orremove scenes on Tour 1 enter the keyboard command SHOT-900-ENTER and follow the on-screen instructions.Tour 2 is a customizable tour that allows you to rearrange the sequence of scenes on the tourby inserting and deleting scenes. To enter the Edit Tour 2 menu, enter the keyboard commandSET-900-ENTER and follow the on-screen instructions.

Privacy MaskingPrivacy Masking is used to block out a specific area of a scene from being viewed. Each maskchanges size and shape smoothly and quickly, ensuring that the covered object cannot beseen. The MIC Series 612 camera allows for a total of 24 individual privacy masks, with up toeight in the same scene. Masks can be programmed with three, four, or five corners each.Each mask can appear in black, white, or blurred. Blurred is useful when privacy is an issue,but determining the presence of motion is still required.

MIC Series 550 Advanced Features | en 75


– To configure a Privacy Mask, open the Main menu, select Display Setup, and then selectPrivacy Mask. Alternatively, enter the keyboard command ON-87-ENTER. To setup aprivacy mask, follow the on-screen menu instructions.

– In Pelco Mode, open the Pelco Main menu, open the Bosch menu, select the DisplaySetup menu, and then select Privacy Masking. To setup a privacy mask, follow the on-screen menu instructions.

Notice!

Draw the mask 10% larger than the object to ensure that the mask completely covers the

object as the MIC612 zooms in and out.

Image StabilizationImage Stabilization becomes increasingly important as zoom ranges are extended. Theadvanced image stabilization algorithms of the MIC612 eliminate camera shake for exceptionalimage clarity. Bosch achieves this clarity without reducing camera sensitivity or picture quality.To activate image stabilization, open the Main menu, select the Camera Setup menu, and thenselect Stabilization to turn on the feature.

Azimuth, Elevation, and Compass DirectionsThe MIC550 or the MIC612 allows a user to display the azimuth and elevation position, andthe compass heading of the camera. The MIC550 or the MIC612 displays the position data inthe lower-right corner of the image display. These readings are described as:

Azimuth The pan angle from zero to 359 degrees in one degree increments. An azimuth ofzero degrees corresponds to North.

Elevation The tilt position from zero (horizon) to –90 degrees (camera pointing straightdown) in one degree increments.

Compass The cardinal or intercardinal (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) heading in which thecamera is pointing.

The MIC550 or the MIC612 uses the azimuth to determine the compass direction. Thefollowing table shows the azimuth range and its corresponding compass heading:

AzimuthRange

CompassDirection

21° to 65° NE (Northeast)

66° to 110° E (East)

111° to 155° SE (Southeast)

156° to 200° S (South)

201° to 245° SW (Southwest)

246° to 290° W (West)

291° to 335° NW (Northwest)

336° to 20° N (North)

76 en | Advanced Features MIC Series 550


Setting the Azimuth Zero PointThe MIC550 or the MIC612 uses the Azimuth Zero point, usually set to magnetic North, as thezero degree pan position and as the North compass heading. The MIC550 or the MIC612 thendisplays the azimuth reading and the compass heading based on the number of degrees fromthe Azimuth Zero point.

!

Caution!

Bosch recommends that only the installer calibrate the Azimuth Zero point. A recalibration to

the Azimuth Zero point may cause inaccurate compass headings.

To set the Azimuth Zero point:1. Determine the North compass heading, then move the camera to that position.2. Press OFF-90-ENTER to turn off the command lock (if active).3. Press ON-94-ENTER to set the Azimuth Zero point.

Displaying Azimuth, Elevation, and Compass HeadingsYou can display only the azimuth/elevation readings or only the compass reading, or you candisplay both readings at the same time. The MIC550 or the MIC612 displays the azimuth/elevation readings and the compass heading in the following way:180 / –45 Swhere:– 180 is the Azimuth or the pan location in degrees.– –45 is the Elevation or the tilt location in degrees.– S is the compass direction (cardinal or intercardinal). 1. Press ON-95-ENTER to display the azimuth/elevation reading.2. Press ON-96-ENTER to display the compass heading.3. Press OFF-95-ENTER to hide the azimuth/elevation reading.4. Press OFF-96-ENTER to hide the compass heading.
